Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 192 Hiding the Mysterious Disease
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were still browsing the latest news on Weibo when they saw a notification from Zhu Shiliang in the WeChat group.
"Because of the HZ virus, we have received a notice from the Qinghe Alliance that all units will suspend work from tomorrow, and employees of each unit should stay at home as much as possible and not go out.
If you must go out due to special circumstances, please wrap yourself tightly and carry mosquito repellent with you.
Although the HZ virus is ferocious, you can avoid being infected by doing a good job of mosquito prevention and control and avoiding mosquito bites.
Protecting yourself is protecting Qinghua Country. The Qinghe Alliance will tide over the difficulties with you!"
After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan replied "received" in the group, they stopped talking, but others were not so quiet.
Yu Shui: "It's another holiday, and I don't even have to be on duty this time, but why do I feel unhappy at all?"
Qin Yiren: "Those who can be happy are gods. Don't you think that the HZ virus is so powerful? What if one of us is infected?"
Yu Shui: "You girls should stop saying such things, okay? You wear aromatherapy balls all day long. First, you had the fragrance given by Shen Yanming, and then you bought the fragrance from the alliance. Anyone can get bitten by mosquitoes, but you, Qin Yiren, can't!"
Qin Yiren: "You are right, I have never been bitten by a mosquito. I should thank Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan for saving my life. But Yu Shui, have you forgotten that we brought mosquitoes home on the day we received the Alliance spices, and our family members were bitten by mosquitoes!"
Yu Shui: "Fuck, I forgot, heaven, earth, I am willing to sacrifice ten years of my life, please protect my family and keep them safe!"
Qin Yiren: "Me too, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Zhu Shiliang: "Speaking of which, I really have to thank the young couple. If it weren't for them, we would definitely be in a state of panic right now."
Li Yueya: "My parents said that they would treat Qiao An and Shen Yanming to a meal after the HZ virus is over. If it weren't for the spices they gave me before, my parents would definitely have been sent to the hospital like their colleagues."
Wei Qin: "Shocked face.jpg, Yaya, are there any infected people around you?"
Li Yueya: "In my parents' work group, they said someone was hospitalized with a fever a week ago, and it turned out to be someone infected with the HZ virus.
Although no one else showed symptoms, it is very likely that there are infected people in their unit. My parents have not been bitten by mosquitoes because they have been using spices. Otherwise, our family would definitely be crying now. "
Wei Qin: "So, we are really lucky. Little An An is our lucky star. I will give her a big gift when we return to work!"
Li Yueya: "Yeah, me too!"
Fu Xi: "Ahhh, I want to cry!!! You are all so lucky, but me, Su Chong, and Shi Yilian are miserable. We three grown men ride electric bikes to and from get off work every day. Not only are we tanned like coal balls, but we also get bitten on the road every day. We won't be infected, right?"
Su Chong: "Brother Fu, you know, I don't even dare to speak in the group. I'm afraid I have the HZ virus. I'm afraid I won't live for many days. I feel so uncomfortable!"
Shi Yilian: "You two should calm down. Maybe we'll be lucky and nothing will happen to us."
Zhu Shiliang: "Yes, the HZ virus is only transmitted through mosquito bites, but this does not mean that you will be infected with the HZ virus if you are bitten by a mosquito.
If you calculate the time, the virus was transmitted from abroad. It was in mid-May that the first case of HZ virus infection occurred in Qinghua Country.
Then after the incubation period, when the first batch of patients became ill and then the Institute confirmed the HZ virus infection, it took less than a month and Qinghua State took various measures.
Logically speaking, the more powerful a virus is, the more difficult it is to spread. The HZ virus is so powerful, and the outbreak in Qinghua Country didn't last long, so it shouldn't have spread from Dijing to our side so quickly.
There are definitely infected people, but there shouldn’t be many. At least, Imperial Capital is the hardest hit area right now.”
Zhu Shiliang's words seemed like a placebo to soothe the worries of Fu Xi and the other two. However, there was still some truth in Zhu Shiliang's nonsense.
The current situation in Qinghua Country is indeed not too bad, because the worse situation is happening abroad.
Ever since the Qinghua Research Institute confirmed that what Li Heng and his team brought back from abroad was the HZ virus, General Alliance Officer Li Cheng called those countries with which they had cooperated to question them.
Now that they were discovered, those countries admitted it. "General Li, we didn't expect them to be infected. Besides, during that period of time, there was indeed no large-scale outbreak of the HZ virus in our country!"
In fact, it was not that there was no outbreak, but that they did not know what HZ virus was at all. They had heard of strange diseases breaking out in those poor and impoverished areas of their country, but at that time, there were few people infected, the cause of the disease could not be found locally, and they were far away from the capital, so the heads of these countries did not care.
Later, the first rain after the dry season infected many people in their country with Unknown No. 1.
For ordinary people, these heads of state can leave it alone, but powerful people have always been well-informed.
Although they were abroad, after experiencing global rain and drought, they also learned about Qinghua Country's rain-making ability through their own information channels.
In the first rain after the dry season, many important figures rushed into the rain with the idea of seizing the opportunity of the energy rain, but they did not expect that the rain that poured on their bodies did not have the magical effect that the netizens of Qinghua Country said.
Most people went there with high hopes, but returned disappointed. However, there were still some people who insisted on persisting. They wanted to wait a little longer, thinking that maybe if they waited a little longer, they would be able to see the "holy water" that Qinghua Country talked about.
Then they became the unknown infected person No. 1...
People are afraid of death, and the heads of state of various countries are annoyed by these rich and powerful infected people, so they have to make deals with Qinghua Country for them.
Their attention was all focused on the unknown infected person No. 1 all over the world, but they didn't notice that the HZ virus was quietly spreading in a corner of their country...
At that time, these heads of state had more or less received news about "strange diseases" reported by various cities, but the news was still limited to "high fever caused by unknown reasons, and multiple drugs failed to reduce the temperature."
These heads of state did not take it seriously. After all, it was far away from them and it did not sound that serious, so they did not announce the news to the public.
It was not until a few days after the Qinghua country's guards returned with special medicines that people in these countries who had contracted strange diseases began to fester all over their bodies. There was no cure, and the number of new infections was increasing.
At this time, these heads of state panicked, but for the sake of their own country's reputation, or perhaps because they were afraid of being held accountable by Qinghua Country, they delayed making the news of the strange disease public.

Hehe, today's three updates are done. I will continue to write and try to update in the early morning every day in the future!
